Lizard’ is the new EP from O Emperor, to be released on their own Big Skin Records on May 2nd. Like its predecessor, ‘Vitreous’, the EP is an entirely self-recorded affair, these latest recordings coming about over the space of a week’s jamming at the band’s , “Big Skin HQ” in Cork City. The EP signals somewhat of a loosening of belt buckles and inhibitions. The reckless nature of the approach is audible throughout and the result is something truly bombastic; an unapologetic embrace of all that is garish and gaudy.

O Emperor grew up in Waterford, playing in various bands and discovering records that shaped their collective musical outlook. They have released two Choice-nominated albums, collaborated with the RTE Concert Orchestra, played many shows (including supports with Spoon, MGMT and Villagers) and been signed and dropped by a major label. Boom!
